. TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:

Be it known that I, B. F. BEAN, of Sehnylkill, in the county ol Chester,and State of Pennsylvania, have invented a. Combined Tongs and Wrench;und I do hereby declare the following to be n full andtexact descriptionof the same, reference being had to the accompanying drnwings, which aremade part of' this specification, und in which?- i Figure 1 represents aside view, in'persp-ectiv'e, of my invention.

My invention consists in combining in one instrument the mechanicalimplement culled the tongs, and the common hand or moukey-wrench. l i

In order to eiect this, I construct tongs, as shown in the accompanyingdrawing, havinrr :it the point A,

- y "l upon one o'f the arms or levers, B C, a. projection, D, whichserves as the xed Jaw of a. wrench. The other jaw of the wrench. isAshown in the same drawing This jnw may l e morable, sliding upon the armB 0 and operated by the screw G a-nd nut H, forming a monkey-wrench, orit may be a. solidjaw projecting from the arm or lever B C, and forming,with the jaw D, n fixed wrencl1. Y

The jaws of the tongs are inclined etl such an angle that, when closed,only the tips of the jaws come together, and when opened the jnws arecapable of grasping nuts of different sizes.

The wrench may be madeof tiny kind of material or metal.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, -and desiretosecureby Letters Patent, is-

lhe combined implement herein described, consisting of the tongs B C andscrew-wrench C D E, the movable jew of the hitter` being rua-deadjustable upon the a-rm or handle C by a.- nut, H, which is fitted to ascrewthread eut u'pon the arm C, the whole constructed and Voperating inthe nia-nner and for the purpose specified.
